Despite deadly blast, Florida fails to enact CSB recommendations on public worker safety (7/18)
State earns first “Unacceptable Response” in CSB history
Florida’s failure to adopt recommendations to provide state and municipal public workers with the same workplace protections as their private sector counterparts has been labeled an “Unacceptable Response” by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB), which made the recommendations.
It is the first time that a CSB recommendation issued to a state and its legislature has been closed due to an unacceptable response by the recipient. CSB Chairman Rafael Moure-Eraso called on Florida to reconsider legislation that would provide adequate workplace protection for public employees.
